Medicare Hospital Insurance in Colorado 8th District (CO-08)
USAspending.gov records $479,035,042.18 in Medicare Hospital Insurance (CFDA 93.773) obligations with place of performance in Colorado 8th District (CO-08), across 9 awards. Nine Medicare Hospital Insurance awards cover about 12.5% of CO-08’s $3.82 billion district book — a thin Part A file whose share is high because the district denominator is relatively small. That pair is Medicare Hospital Insurance and Colorado 8th District (CO-08) — not Colorado’s entire federal inflow, not Medicare Hospital Insurance nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 12.5% of this district’s published obligation total ($3,817,556,485.72). Implied average obligation is about $53,226,115.80 ($479,035,042.18 ÷ 9). Correlation is not causation.

What the Medicare HI–CO-08 join is
CFDA 93.773 and congressional district CO-08 meet here. $479,035,042.18 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Medicare Hospital Insurance’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 8th District (CO-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split inpatient from skilled-nursing settings and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 9 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a beneficiary census, a hospital roster, or a named-provider file.
Dividing $479,035,042.18 by 9 yields about $53,226,115.80 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical hospital stay or a posted per-enrollee figure. 9 awards against a $479.04 million Medicare HI cell is a thin file. Do not invent nine hospitals. Do not treat CO-08’s 93.773 cell as a synonym for every Medicare HI account nationwide. Open Colorado 8th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 93.773 for CFDA 93.773 without the CO-08 filter, Colorado federal spending for every program in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $479,035,042.18.
CFDA 93.773 as the Medicare HI side
USAspending labels CFDA 93.773 as Medicare Hospital Insurance. That catalog number produced $479,035,042.18 when crossed with Colorado 8th District (CO-08) place of performance. The program-wide 93.773 hub does not require CO-08 geography. The district hub does not require Medicare HI. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 9 awards. The packet does not split inpatient from skilled-nursing settings and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.
Correlation is not causation: Colorado 8th District (CO-08) did not “cause” $479,035,042.18 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 93.773 × CO-08 only. It is not a beneficiary census, a hospital roster, or a named-provider file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Colorado 8th District (CO-08) as place of performance
Colorado 8th District (CO-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 93.773. Colorado 8th District (CO-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 93.773. Colorado 8th District (CO-08) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are not this join.
Colorado federal spending shows how CFDA 93.773 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $479,035,042.18 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 8th District (CO-08) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Medicare Hospital Insurance. The district-wide obligation total published here is $3,817,556,485.72; $479,035,042.18 is the Medicare HI slice of that denominator.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $479,035,042.18 is that kind of sum for Medicare Hospital Insurance inside CO-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $479,035,042.18 as given.
Colorado’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 9-row Medicare HI cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 9 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 9 is not a count of hospitals, beds, or enrollees. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($53,226,115.80) is a concentration statistic, not a typical hospital stay or a posted per-enrollee figure.
How to cite Medicare HI in CO-08
Cite USAspending.gov: Medicare Hospital Insurance (CFDA 93.773) obligated $479,035,042.18 on 9 awards coded to Colorado 8th District (CO-08). Name Medicare Hospital Insurance and Colorado 8th District (CO-08) together. Keep the obligation word. If Colorado 8th District or CFDA 93.773 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a beneficiary census, a hospital roster, or a named-provider file. 12.5% of $3,817,556,485.72 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Pennsylvania 9th also hosts CFDA 93.773. Same catalog number, different geography. A 12.5% share is not a ranking of districts.
Keep Medicare Hospital Insurance, Colorado 8th District (CO-08), $479,035,042.18, and 9 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 93.773 is the 93.773 parent without a CO-08 filter. Colorado federal spending is the Colorado parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Medicare HI does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Reading a thin Medicare HI file in CO-08
9 awards against a $479.04 million Medicare HI cell is a thin file. Do not invent nine hospitals. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $53,226,115.80) and the district share (12.5% of $3,817,556,485.72) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 8th District and CFDA 93.773 if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Colorado 8th District (CO-08) as more Medicare HI-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 93.773 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 93.773 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $479,035,042.18 and 9 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

- Is $479,035,042.18 cash already paid in Colorado 8th District (CO-08)?
